Mayweather/Ortiz - The HBO face off (VIDEO)

I wrote about this on my new site. Check it out when you get a chance. Peep the sig.

LOL@ I'm gonna get in there and destroy this kid!

Ortiz is a good little fighter but he just a tune up for Money May.

It would have been awesome if they would have locked eyes................and then made out. thts what vic was thinking at 7:15....:la:

"Ima get in their destroy this kid" Mayweather. I never seen May laugh like that with true sincerity about what he just said.

Actually, I think this part of the face off not only diminishes your statement on "locking eyes" but also think little subtleties such as this are what are often overlooked.... http://www.gifsoup.com/imager.php?id=2891464&t=o It's the part where Ortiz just finished stating he was "also born for this" after interrupting Mayweather. Kellerman asked why Ortiz' eyes locked on to Mayweather after Mayweather said something. Mayweather' breaks up the staring contest with a smile, looks at Kellerman and says "he did", and as Ortiz follows by looking at Kellerman, Mayweather turns right back to Ortiz. No, it's not an advantage or disadvantage and it may not be something that will make a difference in the ring, but it's psychological, nonetheless. What I have noticed over the years is that Mayweather has a way of making people do what he wants be it in the ring or in interviews like this. When he fought Judah, Judah tried to mimic Mayweather's style. On the press tour, Mayweather had Shane Mosley out of character trying to talk about how fashionable and expensive his suit was when Mosley's never been a talker. The guy even has Arum and Pacquiao fighting everybody he's already dominated. Now, in this face off, Mayweather says a lot of things and Ortiz just piggybacks off what he says, like Mayweather talking about the scorecards and making mistakes... Ortiz says, "I say the same thing, too." Really Ortiz? You always say the same thing? So when Peterson made mistakes he was saying, 'oh he's down four rounds, I can stop piling up points'....? The things Ortiz wanted to say when Mayweather told him to say what his game plan was on the 17th, Mayweather ended up finishing for him. Yeah, it wasn't fireworks like Hopkins-Pascal was, but there was just as much going on in that face off as there was in the latter. Good post!

Ortiz: I'm gonna do what uh chavez did to umm Floyd: go ahead and say it, roger, cmon lmao!!!!!!!! lmao.........

It would have been awesome if they would have locked eyes................and then made out.

Was kinda ehhhhhhhhhh to me. Ortiz just seems so much out of his element and Floyd was being the usual Floyd. BHop vs Pascal is still ATG Face Off.

It would have been awesome if they would have locked eyes................and then made out.

ortiz beating a protected berto doesnt make him a legit opponent for floyd. floyd knows this,he knows ortiz and his style is of little threat to him,so that why hes picked him,and cuz of the big berto win he gets good hype going for it aswell. he might be southpaw,quite fast and have power,but he has questionable chin and heart,has no defense,and isnt a good techinical boxer who can set up attacks and stick to a strict gameplan to defeat floyd. his work rate and stamina probably isnt good enough either. You are wrong about his chin, heart, work rate, and stamina. He has all of those things at his best and is more capable than you are giving him credit for.

It was just really awkward. Mayweather was just going through the motions. Kellerman's questions were terrible and Ortiz has no charisma whatsoever. Hes weird. They sounded like they were having phone sex at the end. "Tell me what you're gonna do to me" "I'd rather show you" That was boxing sex. Get it right.

Should be a great fight... cant wait

Victor Ortiz vs Max Kellerman . Who ya got? :boxing:

Also, Ortiz as never been arrogant and has always been humble and easygoing. He seems out of character for this event. Again, this isn't an advantage or disadvantage, but it always seems that at this level, Mayweather's been the same ol' Mayweather, even going back in his Olympic days, whereas most of his opponents have strayed from what got them to that point, be it personality or in-ring ability.

Ortiz: I'm gonna do what uh chavez did to umm Floyd: go ahead and say it, roger, cmon lmao!!!!!!!! :lol1: Ortiz was trying to hard, he came across pretty stupid tbh.

I saw Victor with a stonecold face, and I didn't see Mayweather lock eyes with him. (Given, there's massive editing in these clips) But for you to suggest that those acts were predmeditated is hilarious. I don't see how Ortiz was "owned."

seemed a little cheese to me.

Wow...talk about epic fail Its the Green Lantern Floyd, not the Green Hornet. Two totally different heroes. Green Lantern is 70 years old in our time. The Lantern ring is universally recognized as iconic, even to non DC fans like myself. So maybe Money May is a Marvel comics fans, but still. Floyd, you got to step up your nerd game lol wow u need a different forum

Ortiz: I'm gonna do what uh chavez did to umm Floyd: go ahead and say it, roger, cmon lmao!!!!!!!!
